Using the image method
An ideal electric dipole, of dipole moment p, is normally oriented to an infinite conductor plane, at a distance d from it. If the plane is "grounded", calculate:
1) The electrostatic potential at all points.
2) The load density induced in the plane.
The image of an electric dipole moment p at above an infinite grounded conducting plane in the xy-plane is a dipole moment at with equal magnitude and direction rotated azimuthally by π. That is, a dipole moment with Cartesian components will have in image dipole moment . The dipole experiences a force in the z direction, given by
and a torque in the plane perpendicular to the dipole and the conducting plane,
If the dipole is pictured as two large charges separated by a small distance, then the image of the dipole will not only have the charges modified by the above procedure, but the distance between them will be modified as well.

Physics 2: Dipole Moment and Electric Potential Having a hard time with some of these questions. Help would be greatly appreciated. If you could put in all equations used and show your work it would be greatly appreciated. I want to compare the answers I got. You will be rewarded!

Problem 2 - Point charge and plane (20 pts) A point charge q (q>0) is located a distance d above an infinite conducting plane lying in the x-y plane. The plane is connected to the ground (Fig.1), so that the electric potential V at any point on the plane satisfies V=0. Calculating the electric potential generated by the point charge-grounded plane combination at any point P is more complicated than it looks because the conducting plane pulls some electric charge...
